We are posting a prayer a day during lockdown.
A Prayer of Doubt
Nevertheless, I am continually with you; you hold my right hand. Psalm 73:23
Lord,
I am uncertain.
I am afraid.
I am wondering where you are, if you are there.
My mind is whirling with questions.
My heart is heavy with the weight of grief
My hands are itching to do something but have been told to do nothing.
Are you here?
Are you in our hospitals and supermarkets and streets?
Please be here. Be here in the stillness and silence.
Be here in the busyness of ICUs and ambulances.
Be here in my head and heart and hands. Be here, even when I cannot see you or name you.
Be here, as you were in Mary’s womb,
As you were in a boat in the storm
As you were hung on a cruel cross
As you were in the cool silence of a grave
As you were in a room of frightened disciples
As you are drawing near with compassion and comfort to those mourning.
Be here and it will be enough.
Amen.

Faith, fellowship and fun
Welcome to you all!
We are a small friendly congregation who worship together every Sunday morning at 10.30 am.
Why not come along and see whether you would like to join us? We are committed to working in our community to offer hope and support and to bring members of our community together in faith and love.
You will always find a warm welcome, friendship and support.
Each week we hold a different style of service. We hope one or more will suit you.
1st Sunday
Café Service. This is an all-age service of worship, starting off with coffee and croissants followed by a half hour service of songs, prayers and worship. The service provides toys and activities for children including pre-school children. The service is very informal, sometimes a bit noisy but always joyous.
2nd Sunday
Shared service usually with Litlington Congregational Church. This service will be at 11am if we are at Litlington and will be a more formal style of service. Check on our Diary page to check time and place.
3rd Sunday
We join with our friends from St Mary’s Church of England church for a shared service of worship. The venue alternates and sometimes the service at St Mary’s may be at 10 or 11 am. The service at the chapel will always be at 10.30. Again please check with our Diary page for time and place.
4th Sunday and /or last Sunday of the month
On the last Sunday of the month we hold our communion service. We welcome to our communion table all who have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. Those who may be unsure of their faith are most welcome to join us and can, if they wish, receive a blessing instead during the service.
Usually the fourth and last Sunday are the same but occasionally we get a month with 5 Sundays. If this is the case we often try to offer a different kind of service so check with our Diary page.
So whatever type of service may suit you best please come along and give us a try and join us for fellowship and worship. It is a great opportunity to give thanks, to learn and reflect, to enjoy and support each other.
